Description
Bowness Bank consists of two cottages located on Lake Road in Bowness, built in 1834. They are constructed of coloured roughcast with a slate roof and feature end chimneys. The cottages are two storeys high, with two doors and two 12-paned windows on the ground floor, and two 16-paned sash windows above. There is also a blocked recess in the centre of the building. These cottages are likely from the early 19th century.
